A New Zealand-based company just took one step closer to creating a working nuclear fusion reactor.
Is New Zealand more advanced than the US?
This should get the Labs' attention.

It is not the Labs that you need to get the attention of. They can only work on what DOE funds. And Los Alamos has very little funding. Now the new head of DOE is a drill baby drill fellow, so good luck with expanding fusion efforts into other designs. Comparing with the Holy Grail is very appropriate. The Holy Grail has never been found.

If it looks really promising some private company could start working on it. Maybe if you van convince Musk it could get you to Mars he would fund it.
I agree the NNSA labs only have a small interest in fusion reactors. NIF is closest thing and that rather different .
The company's website is here:

There's an article about it here from New Zealand with a video on it:

New Zealand is a nuclear-free zone as I recall, with a history of opposition to French nuclear testing, and they also do not have any commercial nuclear power, or research reactors.
